InnoGames Celebrates Most Successful Year Ever with 100
Million Players

Hamburg, November 7, 2012. German browser game
developer,
InnoGames, is wrapping up 2012 as its most
successful year ever. “In a few days, we will welcome the 100
millionth-player into our games,” confirms InnoGames Founder
and Managing Director Hendrik Klindworth. Part of this success is
attributed to the launch of
Forge of Empires, which has
become one of history’s most successful starts of a browser
title. Just six months after the game launch, Forge of Empires
already boasts five million players worldwide.

On the tails of this success, the developer and publisher has
set ambitious goals for 2013. “We plan on launching three
more successful games into the market next year, while also
bringing Forge of Empires to mobile, and conferring a bigger market
share to Grepolis and Tribal Wars,” Klindworth explains.
Currently, InnoGames employs over 200 international professionals,
and expects to grow the family. “Our goal is to reach 280
permanent employees in 2013, especially adding those working to
further our cross-platform emphasis,” remarks Klindworth on
the sustainable growth rate of the company.

Armin Busen, Chief Financial Officer at InnoGames, adds:
“Forge of Empires has already exceeded our high expectations,
but in addition, three-year-old Grepolis has had its best year yet.
Our growth has continued to be stable, and in the last two years,
we have increased our revenue by 50%.” The company had been
profitable in every single month, Busen mentions. InnoGames’
2012 turnover is expected to reach 50 million EUR.

With 100 million registered players, InnoGames is one of the
world's leading developers and providers of online games. The
Hamburg-based company has scored major successes with games such as
Tribal Wars,
The West and
Grepolis.
